| Impulsivity said: I was at Frys buying computer components last week. Sony Blu Ray Drive, 70 dollars Cheap ass Chinese DVD drive (cheapest they had there) 40 dollars So yah A) I got the Blu Ray Drive and B) I don't think the switch will take as long as some people think (and yes it will happen). |
Not quite sure I believe those figures you're stating.
$100 vs $18 price difference.
Anyways, Blu-ray will not be a standard for several more years at best. Even if it does become relative standard, all the things you get on PC will always be in DVD for at least several more years afterward.
There's a difference between being "standard in new computers" and being "standard for all computers currently being used". No company is going to want to cut out any sales by putting it in a format their customers may not be able to use. Not only that but since all PC games basically install onto hard drive, there's really no need to install from 1 blu-ray vs multiple DVD's.
